Question

This character addresses the audience at the end of “The Sea and the Mirror” by W.H. Auden. This character uses the Swahili word for freedom, “uhuru,” before deciding to go by X in a play by Aimé (10[1])Césaire (“ay-MAY say-ZAIR”). This character’s “rage” of “seeing his own face in a glass” is compared to “the nineteenth century dislike of realism” in the preface to The Picture of Dorian Gray. This character’s mother, (-5[1])who worships Setebos, is the witch Sycorax who trapped Ariel in a tree. This character gets drunk (-5[1])with Stephano and Trinculo and plots to rape Miranda (10[1])and assassinate her father. For 10 points, name this slave of Prospero in Shakespeare’s The Tempest. ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
